[Morning.
Bright streaks of yellow poured inwards through cracks in tightly closed curtains, dancing over pale, bare skin and stark, blond strands. Night's chill had vanished, traveling along with the looming darkness and silence, leaving behind a warmth and bustle of sound. Birds chirped rapidly, perched precariously atop the building. An engine roared to life, children laughed as they were awoken, meeting the fresh new day with joy and vigor.
Morning.
A new day. A new start. A new chance. A new opportunity.
Everything that would normally send him startling away fell away, lost in the peaceful haze of sleep. It was strange. Feeling this warm, this at peace, this content was strange. Not startling awake suddenly, not awaking long before anyone else could so he could slip away unnoticed without the burden of questions that had no answers.
And so he gave in. Gave in and relished in the gentle lull of rest, in the sounds of soft breathing, in the comfort of her pressed in snug against him, allowing the rest of the world to fall away.]

But there's sparks of electric light dancing across his skin, along his spine, fueling the fires that blaze deep within the pit of his stomach. There's his heart, pounding against his ribs, anticipation rising with each knocking thud.
Only yesterday he never would have dared to say anything like that to her, never would have dared to bring his fantasies to light. And now, he was eagerly awaiting the fulfillment of another.]
Twenty minutes. Think you can wait that long?
no subject
Hurry. Or I may have to start without you.no subject
I won't stop you.
[That had been part of his fantasy, after all. Watching her touch herself in the shower, hearing her call his name as her fingers moved across her body. She may not have been brave enough before, but perhaps his attention had granted her a little more.]
As long as I get to watch when I get there.
[Phone snapping shut, Fenrir's engine roared to life, thick spinning rapidly as he pulled away from the abandoned building he had stopped in front of, intent on reaching her before his allotted time had passed.]

His answer had the full body shiver moving through her and, alone, she didn't even try to stop it. She didn't answer his text either. Not if it might slow him down even a second or two extra. She'd much rather have him there with her instead.
Pressing her thighs together, she glanced at the clock above the counter. Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes or less. She should finish setting up for tomorrow.
Except the mental image of him stepping into the shower full dressed because he'd caught her in there was a hot thick roll inside of her. The wet fabric of his shirt would feel so strange, so erotic against her bare chest and his gloved hands would slip in between her thighs and -
the exhale shook as she opened and eyes and laughed, weakly, at herself. She had never considered herself very sexual no matter what her body looked like. Years with Cloud and nothing physical happening had just honed that impression of herself. Finding herself with such thick, heavy fantasies springing up - she probably shouldn't be as happy about it as she was. But she was.
She'd use up all the hot water if she started before him.
He still hadn't eaten dinner yet either and maybe she should make sure he did that first when he got home.
Fifteen minutes later, she was standing in the doorway, watching the road, arms around herself as she leaned on the doorframe. Maybe she should be setting the stage, getting the bathroom ready but - oh but she needed his mouth, hard and heavy over hers and she couldn't concentrate enough on anything but the need for the reality of him. It was silly that she was so impatient for him - and she couldn't even care if it was. She'd haul him up to the shower as soon as he got here.
She just needed him to get here.]

Twenty minutes had never passed by so slowly, nor had there ever seemed to be quite so many things hindering his progress. Despite how hard he pushed Fenrir, how fast the illuminated dials said he was going, it didn't quite feel hard or fast enough. Roads that were normally clear were busy, trucks rattling down cobbled streets, taking up so much room he was forced to pull off to the side. People coming from late nights at establishments that had long since closed their doors. Each minute that passed by seemed to drag on forever, into hours, days, until he was no long certain just how much time had passed.
Until finally, blessedly, blissfully, Fenrir was pulling into her spot behind Seventh Heaven, engine dying with a soft purr as he slipped off, each piece of his sword safely store inside a locked compartment.
Not that anyone would actually mess with it. Everyone knew exactly who that particular bike belonged to.
Part of him hoped, desperately, that she would be waiting in the shower for him. Hot water cascading down over glistening skin, hugging and accentuating curves. Slicking lips and flesh and masking the sound of her voice as she called out for him. As his fingers replaced hers and his mouth found her neck and left fresh bruises in it's wake.
But she was there, framed by soft, glowing light, like an earth bound angel sent to him by some higher power to lead him away from the darkness that had haunted so much of his life. Every thought except for her fell away, except for the blazing desire to sink into her heat, into her heart, and never let go.
They had never needed words, had never needed to speak, and enough time had been wasted upon them already. Lips were much better put to use finding hers, attaching to them without warning, deep and intense and longing. Hands slipped downwards, over defined strength and dangerous curves, cupping her upper thighs and squeezing before lifting.
Hopefully no one would chose this moment to come downstairs, because chances were they weren't going to make it up them anytime soon.]

And then he was there and her mouth went dry. The look in his electric blue eyes was - it was incredible. Her stomach took a sharp, hot dive. She'd never thought she'd ever want a man to look at her that predatory but -
then he was up the stairs, so fast, and his mouth was crashing down over hers and she was already reaching for him. The sound that tore out of her throat was a sob, all relief and need and welcome and her body melted into the hard, hot heat of his, arms wrapping tight, fingers clenching hard on the fabric of his shirt against his back, up to curl like desperation in his golden hair. Her mouth parted for his, needing, asking, begging, offering and the shudder that came out of her when his hands caressed, squeezed was right from her bones.
How could she have been so long without him? Why did a mere day feel like forever? Surely this couldn't be the way it usually was. They'd lived together for years. But her legs shifted, wrapped around him when he lifted her and deep in her soul she pulsed. So - happy. Happy he touched her as if he had every right to. So happy he needed her the way she needed him. So happy she wasn't the only one desperate and clawing and trying to get closer. Later on, she might remember to worry that they were still out in public, that even on a quiet empty seeming street the neighbors were nosy, that they were being far too blatantly physical and obvious but...
The sound she made into his mouth was relieved and her fingers in his hair curled and tugged.]
no subject
It was impossible to remember those who slept just a single floor above them, separated only by thin layers of wood and blissfully closed doors. Difficult to remember they were supposed to be keeping this all a secret, something that was known only to them.
Impossible to fight against the desire to press her against the bar, to sink into her, to take her, to make her his.
They were definitely not making it up stairs.
Shifting, full combined weight resting upon one leg, he lifted the other, nudging sharply against the wooden door, sighing in relief when it swept closed. Honestly, he no longer cared who saw, who heard, who knew. Any shame that may have once reared it's ugly head had vanished, replaced entirely with desperate, pulsating, undeniable need.
Fingers tightened against her thighs, squeezing, one slipping upwards over the long, flat plane of her back, finding thick, dark locks and tangling, tugging, intent on angling her head back, on presenting more warmed honey touched skin for his attention. Lips fell away from her own, tracing along the strong line of her jaw, seeking out a pulse point, teeth sinking into the tender flesh.]
no subject
No desire to stem what was years worth of waiting and wanting and need crashing down over her now.
She was hardly even aware when they moved, body trying to fit more perfectly to his, lost in the feel of being in his arms, pressed tight against him again. And the stroke and plunge of his tongue definitely had the shiver moving through her stronger, body feeling as if he was already stroking lower and her nails tightened on him, against his shoulder, in his hair.
She surrendered her throat completely to him when he tugged, ancient feral reaction, move pressing her chest closer against his, feeling the strangely erotic harshness of buckles through the leather. And it was a cry, soft though it was, when he teeth sank in, longing and need and relief.
She'd waited all day for this and it felt like years. Waiting to be claimed, waiting to be taken, waiting to surrender and give and lose herself in taking. Her legs hitched a bit more against him and against his back, her fingers pulled and tugged, bunching the fabric of his shirt up, wanting skin and heat and friction and mind too shattered with relief and need to focus enough to be methodical about it. His name was a desperate, needy, relieved sound when it slipped out.]
no subject
Someone was going to hear her cries and come rushing down the stairs, be it Barret with his loud stomps and boisterous manner and booming voice and the stern lecture that would follow about how there were children living and sleeping directly above them and how if he ever caught wind that either of them had stumbled upon them and discovered things they shouldn't he would make them both incredibly sorry. Or one of the children, concerned or even frightening by sounds they didn't understand, barely brave enough to come investigate if only for their own peace of mind.
Someone was going to hear them and he'd be forced to part from her, to staunchly deny it having been what it appeared, to apologize for something he felt no shame over. Would climb the stairs and enter his room and spend the rest of the night alone, body aching with desperate need that fantasies and his own hand could never quite satisfy. Because he had tasted the forbidden fruit, had swam within her waters, knew of her heat, of the pleasure her body was capable of giving. Nothing would ever come close to matching it. ]
Tifa - [Her name fell from his lips like a song, like worship of those two perfectly paired syllables. Separating was like an electric shock searing along the length of his spine, raging flames fanning in answer, heat curling within his body and within his heart.
Denying them even for another moment seemed almost cruel, an entire lifetime having passed since the moment they parted. Hands slipped from their positions, careful in his attempt to set her back upon the ground, no more willing to jeopardize her safety and well being then the knowledge of their new found relationship.
Voice low, fire blue eyes darkened and glazed into sapphires twinkling under the moon light, sharp teeth nipping into the swollen flesh of his bottom lip, slowly releasing it, a teasing promise to accompany his words.] I meant it when I said I wanted you in the shower.
no subject
Because everything had changed.
One leg obeyed, slipped enough to dangle a sneaker against the floor but the other was reluctant and her eyes felt just as reluctant about opening. He wasn't going to tell her no. Not when he said her name that way, after he'd bolted the stairs and swept her up and kissed her the way he had. She knew he wasn't going to tell her no.
But he was stopping them and the bolt of irrational fear through her chest, that she'd been given too much, that she'd been too happy, that good things ended - it was cold enough and sharp enough to have her opening her eyes. The hand in his hair slipped down to curl in the fabric at the front of his shirt.
And oh. Oh... that look in his eyes. Her stomach tripped over itself, palms tingling, heat flushing through her. Oh, it was a good thing she knew that he only looked at her with eyes like that. He could bring the world to its knees with eyes like that.
She swallowed, dry, against his words. And the embarrassment flushed through her but the little smile struggled up too, fluttering at the edges of her lips. He had asked her to be in the shower.]
I got impatient.
[Her eyes apologized - and yet laughed and didn't apologize at all at the same time. And her other leg slipped down. Her nails trailed against his scalp though, caught and tugged strands of gold hair against the back of his head.
Even with the promise of a reward, it was still very hard to let go.]
How long are you going to take once I get up there?
no subject
But patience was a virtue that would be rewarded, far better than giving into primal, feral urges.]
Five minutes. [Just long enough for the water to heat and for the sound to mask that of opening and closing doors. Just long enough for anyone who may have been disturbed from the sound to settle and not be further prodded into coming to investigate.] Five minutes and I'll come to you.
no subject
She liked that he thought of her that way, in fact...
Besides... if she gave him his fantasies maybe he'd return the favor. She did have one involving Fenrir that - ]
Hmm. [It was a little weak but she nodded to show she agreed. She was still a little weak legged from the image of him charging up the stairs to get to her, as eager as she was and it brought the smile back. Made her heart beat light and high in her chest. He wanted this. They were really doing this. He really did want her that way after all.] Five minutes.
[And she didn't even try to make it sound like anything but what it was, need and impatience. And then she darted up on her toes to nip his tempting lower lip and whisper:]
I might even be brave enough let you watch.
[against his ear before turning and silently sprinting up the stairs to the second floor, hair swinging behind her.]
